Contest No. 234 starts right now.

Here are the details: I’ll supply a drawing of one of my old cartoons that has never been published, leaving off my caption. You are invited to supply your funniest captions. To enter, simply (1) click on “See Comments and Add Your Own”. Then (2) scroll down past any other submitted captions and type your name and your caption in the spaces provided. Then (3) click “Save”. There is no charge to submit captions, and the only prize is the honor of being one of the funniest people around.

Your caption (or captions) will be posted after I review your submission. However, no captions at all will be posted for the first few days of each contest. This will give everybody a chance to submit their spontaneous, gut-instinct caption without fear of discovering that it was ripped off by somebody else’s similar spontaneous, gut-instinct caption. Every posted caption has an indication of the date and time it was received. This is an equal opportunity contest!

There is no limit on the number of captions you may enter, but I will only post and consider the first 15 captions from any contestant. Entries will be accepted and posted for one week, after which the winning caption will be announced and printed and I will also reveal my original caption. I am the sole judge and the winning caption will be the one I deem to be the funniest one submitted (not necessarily the one that matches or comes closest to my original caption).

The cut-off time and date for you to send in your captions is midnight Wednesday, January 14, 2026.

Below is the drawing that needs your funny captions. Good luck, Captioneers!

“The internet says the Best Before date is fake news.”

(by Silvana Lagrotteria)

My original caption: “Do you like it? I got the recipe from that book you gave me, ‘Cooking For Dummies’.”

Congratulations, Silvana, on your third victory. That makes two in a row, since you won in Contest No. 232 also. Can there be any doubt that you are currently one of the funniest people around?

Here are the other captions that I was seriously considering:

“Sorry dear, these are the leftovers from the leftovers. Enjoy.” (by Diane Weisman)

“Remember when we could afford to eat here often?” (by Pat Foley)

“Ever notice how quiet it is when all the neighbors go out to eat?” (by Joe Ayella)

“I didn’t have paprika so I used chili powder.” (by Scott Malcolm)

“And the meatballs are made from kale.” (by Kelly Nagle)

“TV dinners taste so much better on fine china.” (by Jerry Davis)

“Today I’m trying a new ‘vegan’ recipe.” (by Jonathan Stein)

Captioneer Joe Ayella gets another Shout-Out: he won an honorable mention prize in Cartoon Stock’s latest caption contest. Good to see your name there, Joe!

Contest No. 234 will be posted in due time, and would you believe it will be in 2026. So Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all you Captioneers . . . and many thanks for participating!
